The Company’s Garden, established in 1652 by the Dutch East India Company, was the first colonial settlement in Cape Town. Enslaved people from Africa and Asia cultivated crops to supply passing ships, reinforcing the colony’s reliance on forced labour. The garden symbolises both colonial expansion and the exploitation of enslaved communities.

Green Market Square, established in 1696, was a central trading hub in Cape Town, where enslaved people were auctioned alongside goods. It became a focal point of colonial commerce, with enslaved labour shaping the city’s economy. Today, it stands as a reminder of Cape Town’s history of oppression, resistance, and transformation.

The Central Methodist Church in Cape Town, founded in the 19th century, played a significant role in resisting apartheid and advocating for social justice. During colonial rule, Methodism provided spiritual refuge for the oppressed, including enslaved and marginalised communities. The church later became a sanctuary for anti-apartheid activists and displaced people.
